An Alternate idea on “Antibiotic Resistant” Bacteria

[Zack Vegas]

There is a thread on the old RPF by Tarminder, talking about Gut Protocol for Insulin Resistance, Metabolism, and Energy.  He linked the following article by Ken Lassesen-

Change Agents: Ken Lassesen on Prescription and Herbal Antibiotics to Alter the Gut Flora in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

His protocol was based on the idea of constant shifting of antibiotics (both natural and prescription), similar to the idea of “muscle confusion” in weight training.  But after looking at the protocol, I wondered if there was a different explanation for Lassesen’s success…… and that being simply taking a much longer course, and a greater total amount of antibiotics.

Imagine a military fort, and say the fort has enough munitions to defend against 80,000 troops.  Well, if a gang of 100 marauders attacks, they will be made short work of.  Ditto for 1,000 and 10,000.  If it were attacked by 50-100,000 troops, the outcome might be more of a coin flip.  But if this fort were attacked by 200,000 or 1 million troops, they would surely fall to the invaders.

Now, if we didn’t know the numbers of attackers, it might be pretty easy to come up with an idea of “bullet resistant troops” attacking the fort.  But if you know the numbers of attackers and ability to defend, that idea goes away pretty quickly.

The thing is, when dealing with bacteria, we really don’t know the numbers in any one person.  If you take two people at random, one might have 10,000 times the bacterial load of the other.

Lassesen’s protocol looks to be an 18 week protocol (he lists 9 weeks, and then suggests repeating it), and he says he took 200mg of minocycline a day, “ongoing.”  Considering 2 weeks is normally considered a “long” antibiotic regimen, this step already makes this protocol a marathon, and the amount of antibiotics taken massive.  On top of that, he is using other natural antibiotics and things like biofilm disruptors.  He’s like a fort that is getting that 80,000 rounds of munitions on a daily basis, plus getting lots of extra ways to weaken or thwart the enemy.

This may be something people want to keep in mind if they want to design their own protocol, centered around Peat’s ideas and principles.  You could potentially use the first generation antibiotics that Peat spoke well of (penicillin, tetracyclines, macrolides), also use Flowers of Sulphur as an antifungal and antibiotic, do some rounds of activated charcoal to help clean things out, use the antimicrobial foods like carrot/bamboo shoots/mushrooms/artichokes, and also onion and garlic, maybe look into biofilm disruptors, as well as other natural antibiotics listed in the Lassesen article, along with cyproheptadine (Haidut mentioned this could help increase the effectiveness of antibiotics, since bacteria communicate with serotonin), and other anti-inflammatories.  And each a no starch diet.  And also find some way to keep iron low (or lower a high iron burden), as E.D. Weinberg stated that sufficient iron can totally inactivate antibiotics.  Oh, and maybe add Vitamin E, since the Shute Brothers claimed it was bacteriostatic in nature.  And other things that make sense, based on your own research.   You could swap some of these things in and out over a longer course.

Just some ideas.
